well for who doesnt know its when people (spesh asians) go red in the face and/or body after drinking i have it & it annoys me sooooo much! does anyone else have it ? what do u do 'bout it? peeps tell me u can get those tablets like pepcid that will help but not completely stop it =[ aparently ALOT of asians have it how unfair! lol why me?! :(
lol yeah it sucks it kinda helps when u drink slow to start with is urs really bad though? mine tends to spread from my head to like chest area & arms :(
It's caused by a particular enzyme in the GI tract which Asians often lacks. That enzyme supposingly metabolize the alcohol one consume. For Asians who lack that enzyme, the sudden alcohol surge in the GI tract trigger a small-scale allergic reaction, thus the flush. I remember there are stomach pills which have the fortunate side effects of suppressing the proteins (which goes haywire when come into contact with alcohol -> allergic reaction/flush) but I forgot the brand :( I don't have a MAJOR flush, but I will end up having rosy cheeks (plus, who can really see in that dim karaoke box?) -lol
vodka shots, as nice as they are.... arent what i would call proper drinking lol shots are only ikkle its weird sometimes i get it after like a whole bottle of vodka & sometimes i get it after just like one drink does my head in =[
^ Could it be bc you have consumed food, hence slower redness? Speaking of which, by proper drinking, i assume you mean "clubbing" and not the social type rite?
not really.. i'm not that dumb to drink on an empty stomach oh & erm well any type of drinking tbf lol arent men less likely to get as red as women though\? i should think so btw clubbing is socialising lol
after 2 drinks ill turn red......sometimes i would "pretend" to b drunk just to do stuff and say stuff=p
lol yeah i tend to do that people who dont know me as well, wont even know but its like not nice... its like u seem u get wasted alot easier even though u dont get drunk but just go red plus people who dont usually come out drinking with me always go 'oh michelle, ur drunk uve gone really red' its annoying lol plus i dont like being called strawberry!
@ CB What i mean by social drinking is 2-3 glasses, not like hard liquor by the bottles. Gender has nothing to do with how fast a person get red, it goes down to how fast a person metabolism reacts to alcohol absorption from the stomach into the blood stream.
i think its so cute when girls get red of drinking hahhaa then really want to pinch there cheeks but i never get red head of drinking...
u lucky sod! hah no u dont mean that... maybe girls who look like they're blushing not when their whole face is red as a strawberry lol u'd just think 'what the hell?!'
